If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a delightful children's book about a mouse with unlimited wants. He wants many different goods and services. Sometimes he even provides services! Before you begin reading, use the Goods and Services slideshow below. Explain that goods are things you can touch or hold and services are things you do.
Read the book aloud or use the video below, where Laura Numeroff reads the book. While you read, ask the students to keep track of the goods and services. Remind students that goods are things we can touch or hold and services are things we do.
After reading, ask the students to name the goods that the mouse wanted. Then, ask them to name the services in the book. For a digital activity, students can also download the free ReadWriteThink.org Timeline App (Apple and Android) to create a timeline of the story.
